Brian and Jimmy eyed Elizabeth as she walked through the doors of the morgue.

"What?" she asked them in confusion. She looked down at her dress which was a dark red business pencil V-neckline dress with black pumps.

"Nothing," Jimmy said.

"Well, not nothing," Brian disagreed quickly. "Your stomach…is…bigger. No offense."

Elizabeth looked down at her stomach and saw that the bump where her unborn child lied was bigger. She nodded and replied, "Yes it is because I'm pregnant, you guys."

"What?!" They yelled simultaneously.

She blinked.

"When did this happen?" Jimmy asked loudly.

"Yeah and where were we?" Brian agreed.

"How should I know? But you guys should've been really paying attention to Hannibal and I since we always talk about our child and the fact that there is a framed sonogram on my desk."

"We're not nosy people Jimmy and I," Brian replied. "But we're your friends and we would've liked to know that you are pregnant."

"Why?"

"So that I could make him or her an FBI badge or something or make sure they have no diseases," Brian responded.

Elizabeth chuckled as she shook her head, walking over to them. "Thank you, you guys. I'm sorry that I didn't share our news with you guys, but things have been hectic and I know from experience that stress is bad for the both of us. I want him to be as healthy as possible when he claws his way out of me."

"Great interpretation of birth," Jimmy joked.

Elizabeth hugged the boys in her arms. "He's gonna have now three great uncles. Uncle Willy, Uncle Bri, and Uncle Jim."

"You are not letting him call us by that," Jimmy playfully warned.

"So it's a boy," Brian inquired.

Elizabeth shrugged. "There is more of a chance it is a boy, but hey, a girl could be our first child."

"What is his name? Or her name?"

"We haven't decided on either of them, but my suggestion for a boy is the name Philip." Elizabeth said, smiling widely.

"Philip Lecter-well, if you marry Hannibal that is then it's Philip Graham Lecter."

"No, remember Klaus," Brian corrected. "Philip Adam Graham Lecter."

Elizabeth scowled. "No, don't add that in there. He already has two last names."

"Will you two get married?" Jimmy asked.

Elizabeth shrugged lightly. "I don't know. Time will tell I guess."

"You two make a cute couple. You guys actually look well together. Yin to Yang," Brian replied. "Same style sense now actually."

"Where is Hannibal?" Elizabeth asked them.

"Coming this way actually," Jimmy mused.

Elizabeth turned and smiled at Hannibal who bent down and kissed her lips. "Hey."

"Hello and I have a gift for you."

"Oh, what is it?"

"It's food."

"Thank you so much," she sighed in happiness and hugged him. "I am so hungry."

Hannibal chuckled in shock. "I could tell by how much you ate at breakfast this morning…and your texts which had some sort of relation to food gave you away."

A coy smile came onto her face as she grabbed the bag of food from his hands. "Thank you, the man I love."

"Your welcome, darling."

Elizabeth turned quickly and started to walk to her office where she devoured the food he bought for her down.

"This is a frightening image," Will mused with a disgusted look on his face.

She gulped down the piece of food in her throat. "What? I am eating for two now. I have an excuse to eat everything in sight."

"You can't use that excuse every time someone questions your actions."

"Well, Hannibal seems to love my new appetite. I practically eat everything in site especially meat. My child seems to love meat," Elizabeth mused. "Hannibal wants to name our son something else."

"Something tells me you will persuade him to your side," Will reminded her as he examined her food.

"You can't have any," Elizabeth told him, her voice muffled by the amount of food in her mouth. "It's for me and the baby."

"You have a deadly sin and that sin is named Gluttony," Will laughed.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and continued to eat, stopping for a moment. She squealed in delight as she grabbed her brother's hand and placed it over her stomach.

"Do you feel that?!"

"It feels like an alien," Will said. "No offense."

"Eh, he's my little Alien." She chuckled. "He's kicking or moving…or both."

"My nephew is going to be a handful," Will commented.

"If he's anything like me, he's gonna be loud." She added with a smirk.

"Oh, dear…you're going to be screwed," Will laughed.

"I noticed how you keep on not including Hannibal whenever it comes to the future of our child," Elizabeth told him. "I know you dislike him, but he's going to be in our lives forever, Will."

"Lizzie-"

"No," she immediately interrupted him. "I don't want to start a fight with you, Will, but I am going to tell you this once and that's it then I'll shut up forever. Hannibal is going to be in our lives forever whether we're together or separated. This is his son too and he's not going to sit around and let us cut him out of his life. He will fight for him."

"If you love him so much then why didn't you say yes to his proposal or better yet, why aren't you two living together?" Will questioned.

Elizabeth bit her lip and said, "I don't know."

"Yes, you do. You're scared of what you may find once you take a peek inside. Your curiosity always gets the best of you," Will reminded her. "You don't believe him."

She looked away from him and stood up, putting as much distance between them as possible. "I have no idea what you're"

"Don't even play that card with me, Lizzie. I know you're smarter than that. You can see through people. Before with Hannibal, everything was new and different, you were blind to certain things. But something changed for you along the way. Someone said something to you…who was it?"

Elizabeth gulped nervously. "I need to talk to Hannibal about a case-Meredith's case. The Butcher case."

Elizabeth left her office as quickly as possible, walking out of the FBI building as well. Her phone rang in her bag and she answered, "How did you get this number?"

"Cricket, stop being so mean all the time. I said my apologies to you already," Klaus said.

"What do you want?"

"So," he drawled out. "The Butcher is still around I see."

"What do you know, Klaus?"

"I know where he is."

She froze and hurried into a private corner where people wouldn't eavesdrop on the conversation. "Where is he? And how do you know this?"

"I saw on the news and heard about what he did to your friend, Cricket. I am sorry about that; I know that you two were close."

"Yeah, thanks I guess," she said awkwardly. "Get to the point. Where. Is. He."

"I'm staring right at him actually," he chuckled mirthlessly.

Time seemed to stand still around her as her heart beat furiously in her chest. "What? Please tell me that you're joking with me right now."

"No, I am as serious as a heart attack, Elizabeth," Klaus said sternly. "Here…I think he wants to talk to you."

"What? Klaus?!"

"Hey there, Lizzie," Roger's amused voice came through the phone.

"What do you want with Klaus? First me. Then Meredith. Next Clarice. Now it's Klaus…what game are you playing at, Roger? What do you get out of all of this, huh?!"

He sighed heavily. "You'll know soon enough. Though I think that we need to talk."

"We are talking. Now where the fuck is my father?!"

"He's…he's, um, tied up at the moment. Besides talking through the phone is so 21st century and it's like people these don't send letters to each other anyone or bother to have any type of confrontation," Roger replied in a frustrated and annoyed voice.

"So talk now."

"We need to talk, Lizzie, face-to-face," Roger told her firmly.

"I don't trust your words since I don't know what you're up to."

"You'll never know until you try, Lizzie." He teased. "Solve the riddle I gave you and then you'll find me."

"Why should I? For all I know, it could be a trap to kill me," Elizabeth questioned.

"Well," he drawled out dramatically. "If you want to see Papa Klaus alive then you have to meet me…if not, well, you know what you'll find in your bed tomorrow night."

Elizabeth scoffed. "You son of a bitch. I can't believe you right now. I have never hated anymore than I do you right in this very moment."

"You and I both know that I will kill Klaus without a second thought about it if you stand me up," he growled at her.

"What do you want? Why are you even doing this?" She said softly, revealing a vulnerability inside of her that he was only able to bring out of her.

"Uh-ah, that's cheating, Lizzie. I feel your every move, I know your every thought, I'm there from your birth, I'll see how you rot. I am your shadow, You shall never be free. The answer is what, Agent? Find me with the riddle. After all, you know me better than anyone just. Like. I. Know. You."

"Go. Fuck. Yourself," she mocked back at him before hanging up, her chest heaving up and down.

She rubbed her temples, her mind again going through all the different places that they could be at. She knew that she couldn't go to her team about this since she knew that that would only anger Roger even more. Elizabeth nibbled her bottom lip and rubbed her growing bump.

"We'll be okay," she whispered as she walked along the sidewalk.

Elizabeth felt him move inside of her again and this made her smile in the end.
